I believe that natural shape and order are brought by using the intrinsic shapes that materials originally have, making the inwardness of a sculpture display. Also, I respect organic forms and minimalism, and am pursing the tangibleness in terms of shape or texture.

It leads to an installation when the round surface or the curves of a sculpture interact with a space where it is placed. I always try to create a place composed of mass of the materials and the relationship with the surroundings while making the most of the original shape of materials. I set a standard of creating a sculpture that it can give you a feeling of relationship between human and human or human and nature or with others, and whose surface is touchable and made of intrinsic materials as much as possible.

Making a sculpture to me is an action to create a space composed of a concept and materials to realize “a touchable shape”. Cubic expression goes back to the times long before letters were created and used by human beings and I would point out that it is a collaboration brought by interactions between human and environment or nature. Due to a more variety of materials or expression method, I have understood the definition of sculpture in a wider range: not only a singular body or space but also cases triggered by commitments to others should include in it. It is not creating a body to be put in a space but creating a space itself for a body to exist. That is my style of making a sculpture.
